Continuing my exploration of the mid Apennines I found a couple of new places to explore.
The first area I found is a cluster of hamlets above the Enza Valley. The second area is the Dolo Valley.

| Ponte di Cadignano |
Starting at Roncaglio (RE) above the Enza river, I did a circular walk passing Solara,Case Curti,Massalicia, Verlano and Iagarone before returning to Roncaglio. Each hamlet has its own distinctive “casa torre” .

The second walk I did was to descend from the hamlet of Cadignano (near Gova RE) down to the river Dolo.
At this point the river is crossed by a medieval hump back bridge - “schiena d’assino” or mules back in Italian. The bridge was on the medieval or probably Roman via Bibulca which connected Emilia with Tuscany.
